I couldn’t find any
The location was great. Our room was clean and comfortable. We chose to have the breakfast and found it to be very nice. We will return.
It was really good for the money we paid. The room and bathroom were big and renewed.It is close to the Center.The staff is really emphatic:I totally recommend
Property is centrally located. My accommodations were good. Room size was good.
Maybe a small breakfast option should be included?
Nice view from the room over the river, good breakfast.
Water in the shower could have been a bit hotter
The bedroom is very spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Having a bar and parking lot are excellent add-ons. The TV is smart so you can screen mirror your phone for watching whatever you want and the bedroom even features a Bluetooth speaker and a coffee machine.
Clean, friendly and quiet hotel perfectly located by the Lima River in Ponte da Barca.Welcoming staff and lovely design.Nice touch with free water, coffee and parking. My husband loved the breakfast and plus for the fact that the staff kindly let me accompany him although I didn’t have any breakfast.
Could have had duvets instead of just bed sheets for people that prefer sleeping with duvets.The drainage in the sink could be improved as if was quite clogged.
Beautiful decorated quaint hotel and comfortable rooms
Breakfast is additional value
Everything, Location peaceful and next to the old part of town, river and ancient bridge. Views from the room onto garden and river were outstanding. The staff were very welcoming and looked after our every need. Beautiful hotel, spotlessly clean and very tidy gardens.
Could not fault anything.
I love where it sits- gorgeous river, ancient church bells from the village, birdsong.
The deserted bar- no- one to share the pool table!
The location is fantastic, with beautiful scenery and quaint town. Staff was friendly, Completely remodeled rooms were modern, clean and well appointed. Boutique hotel with high value for money. Good breakfast.
The town is a little hard to get to, but worth the effort.
Nice room with free water and coffee with small fridge.Enough free parking lots.Fresh scrambled eggs and fried bacon for breakfast. Very friendly staff!
Bathroom need general repair chceck (shower head leaking water like crazy, shower door not holding water in shower (flooded bathroom), toilet desl moving around.Missing trash bin (only mini in bathroom).Missing single vegetable on breakfast.
Beatiful and big room with excellent bathroom. Free parking on site. The village is very nice and close to Peneda-Geres national park.Very kind and helpfull staff
Location and rooms, comfortable beds
It could do with a kettle and coffee, tea making facility
It is the perfect hotel to getaway from the noisy city. Room looks new and fresh, quiet area, comfortable bed. Hotel managers were the best, extremely polite and attentive (thank you again). Spacious parking. Lovely small city around. All in all, will definitely come back for exploring Geres park.
Everything was great. If just being nit-picky, there is a big gate stopper in the middle of the entrance to the parking, mind it if you have slim tyres on your car :)
Breakfast was goodLocation is excellent, very scenic areaGood restaurants within short walk
Beautiful bedroom overlooking the river. Breakfast particularly good served in bright conservatory.
Small and very friendly Rooms were very large and property was beautifully maintained
